THE ROCK RIVER BRIDGE.

The Moline CeanciI Puzzled Over It.
shall ii be Declared free s--Dfs-
cussed by Incline Business Men.
The bridge across Rock river near Mo-
line, is white elephant on the hands Of
our eastern suburb. A meeting Of the
Moline Business Mems association was
held Tuesday night to discuss the feasl>
bility of making it free BY the city couns
Gil, and the Dispatch says:
While the discussion brought out all
shaoes of opinion, there seems to be no
positive demand that the bridge should be
Immediately declared free. The financial
exigencies of the present year were
brought out, SO that perhaps no one
present thought of an earlier departure
from the toll system than the beginning
Of the next municipal year.
That the bridge is an elephant" was
brought out more and more clearly. To
say nothing of its being taxed, the city
owes enough on it at present to build a
better bridge twice over; we cant give it
away even if we agree to pay what is due
on it, The county won't have it, nor
does any township want it. If we allow
it to be put up for taxes, there would be
no purchaser, except, perchance. some
one who might desire to run it rs toll
bridge We can't afford TO abandon it.
Supervisor R. 4. Smith was among
those who desired TO make it free bridge.
He thought it would bring produce here
that now goes to Geneseo. 10 CISCO. TO
Orion and to southwestern Henry county.
DIR Vessel thought more produce was
coming to town now than there was q
market for. He would rather raise the
| tolls little to get even for the taxes
W. J.. Entrikin hardly thought that
making free bridge of it would affect
the question of taxation. He thought,
however, that the bridge was not assesss
BILE under any circumstances. He knew
of no other instance in Illinois where
municipal property was taxed. Illinois
cities are not allowed to own any prop
erty or 90 into any enterprise for money
making, but simply for the public good
